This is about to go up the general for signature. Give me a NJP deal along with a RILT. Timing is about to get away from us, and the CG will be less inclined to deal with this administratively.

Hoover, USMC Military Justice Officer MCB Quantico Work: (703) 784-0037 Cell: (603) 809-5781 -----Original Message----- From: Haytham [mailto:haytham@puckettfaraj.com] Sent: Tuesday, July 05, 2011 11:20 To: Hoover Capt Christopher M Cc: Mcconnell Major Matthew N Subject: Re: ROWE I can recommend an NJP. I cannot advise a BOI waiver. What I can support is a request for a resignation. If that is something you can get behind, I'll discuss it with Capt Rowe. I'm happy to recommend that this case go away. But I will not recommend that my client bear a greater burden than he is responsible for.

I am working on a TC memo and I think the timing of a PTA along with the Art 32 report and memo could work with the CA in the case. > > Captain Christopher M.

Moreover, there is a problem with the charging theory on the element of force -- the acts alleged by the government do not constitute "force" within the meaning of the sexual assault statutes. Capt Rowe rates punishment for a handful of lesser offenses at a lower forum and should be separated from the Marine Corps, but not through the means of a GCM. > > You can reach me after tomorrow at my gmail address or my usmc.mil address.
